The E-Road is an urban transportation system designed by designers Rodrigo Cruz and Guilherme Soares, which aims to minimize air pollution and a busy metropolitan city. The system is based on three different projects that includes development of E-stations for boarding and disembarking passengers, electric buses and electric cars.

After boasting the largest tram network in the world, which plays a major part in life of many, the City of Melbourne will witness the classic means of transportation stepping towards a greener future. Australian designer Simon Colabufalo has built a tram vehicle that is powered by electric energy. Hailed the “Metrotopia,” this two-seater vehicle moves on a single rubber ball that allows great flexibility and mobility.

The Fraunhofer System Research envisions the future as transport without emitting those dreadful fumes and carbon into our atmosphere. Working on a large-scale project to come up with the public transport of tomorrow, the Fraunhofer research team has developed something it calls the “AutoTram”. Presently under research, the vehicle is designed to be as a tram and as flexible as a bus.

Mass rapid transit system is an efficient way to resolve the urban traffic problem. However, given the increasing traffic congestion new ways have to be devised so that more and more people can travel without adding up to the traffic jams. Shenzhen Hashi Future Parking Equipment Co., Ltd has proposed ‘straddling bus’ as a cheaper, greener and faster commuter alternative.

Public transport may allow sustainable commutation but passengers have to compromise with comfort and privacy while traveling by a bus or a train. Developed by Russian designer Vitaly Kamyshev, the “Bombardier” is a personal coach compartment that not only allows privacy but also adds luxury to the public transport. Accommodating one person in utmost comfort, the individual compartment includes an armchair, computer panel with TV and multimedia center, place for your bag and wardrobe with drying function. The touch sensitive panel on the table lets you watch TV, listen to the music or surf internet with the touch of a finger. You can use USB-card if you want to open your file or save any information while working on the touchscreen computer. Though the cabin just measures one meter in length, but you can regulate the slope of the chair back to work or stretch your body in comfort.
